A thesis is required for a PhD. Students often fail to understand its importance and therefore can’t justify it. Here is a story on how you can structure your thesis.

Your thesis should start with the table of content. Here you have to enlist important pages, chapters, topics and sub-topics of the thesis with page numbers.

Enlist tables you have used in the thesis with its name, number and page number. This helps the examiner to navigate.

Review relevant and most recent literature in accordance and discordance with your topic. A review of the literature solves the problem with literature.

Enlist your thesis title, aims and objectives in this section. It is often combined with the introduction too.

Do not forget to enlist sources you have used in the thesis. Make a separate chapter at last and list all of them.
